2024/01/28 Zebra Finches

The finches are doing so well in their outdoor aviary they even have a couple new babies to show off. Those are the two with the black beaks which will turn reddish orange as they mature. One of them has quite a bit of white feathers because of pied genes inherited from its Grandma Promise.
They have a new toy… the panel of rings and rings and rings. They seem to like it!

It looks very nice and festive but no room for flying from what I see. These little ones love the exercise.

Yes! We have talked about it… so many toys and no place to fly!
Actually, I have made an effort to put all those toys in the front part of the aviary for exactly this reason. The footprint is 5’ wide x 4’ deep and they do have a good 2’ of that 4’ depth (x 6’ tall) as open space for flight. (Where I’m standing.)
I have arranged food, water, shelter and sunning areas so encourage flight. I have arranged food stations, water dishes and baths, shelter areas and sunny spots to encourage flight, including on the floor. It makes me happy that they use the whole space, top to bottom.
Thank you for bringing up an important topic!
